Back to school is upon us: if you’re looking for some motivation as you head back to the daily grind, look no further.

We’ve rounded up the best podcasts to inspire, motivate and help you brush-up as you head back to work after the summer. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or just want ideas to help you climb the career ladder, these business-oriented podcasts will help boost your prospects.

1. Blow Up the Blueprint

Want to use creative thinking to impact your business and build a stand-out brand - but don’t know how? Jo Gifford explains how to blow up the blueprint. Having launched earlier this year, listeners say it’s worth a go if you’re particularly interested in the online entrepreneurial space.

3. Hello Friend

Host Bethany Rutter wanted to do something that enabled her to ask questions of the great people in her life and share their brilliance with the world - so Hello Friend was born. With conversations about everything from careers and food to inspiration, you’ll feel like you’ve made a new friend after every episode.

8. Self Made Man

Forget self-help books: this is a self improvement show. Listeners have the chance to hear from mentors who share their success stories and offer advice on how build excellence in business, relationships, health, finance, and legacy.

11. Unregulated, by City A.M.

And lastly, this would not complete list of business podcasts without our Unregulated podcast, which will stage a glorious return later this month - so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, why not catch up on previous episodes? You can find them all on Audioboom or iTunes.
